A serene face peers out from a fractured background of gradient blended polymer clay. The crackle effect is the first technique featured in my Faux Raku method (as seen in "The Complete Book of Polymer Clay Techniques"). The image transfer from my pre-printed transfers (Fine Arts Collection) was sealed with two coats of Magic Glos UV resin after baking and before glueing to the clay lid. Often when clay is being rolled through a pasta machine during the conditioning stage, the edges come out with a lovely cracked edge that reminds me of deckled paper. I used black polymer clay for the rim gently rolling the crackled edge over the edges to form a frame for the lid.
